28:29
The Imam of the time can and does give a spark of light to every mumin and Divine law and habit has always continued. And this spark Is from the fountainhead of the light of Intellect, and not from a low level, as the Qur'an says: "He (Musa) said to his people: Bide ye (here). Lo'. I see in the distance a fire; peradventure I shall bring some information (khabar) thence, or a brand (jadhwah) from the fire that ye may warm yourselves" (28:29). The gist of its ta'wil is that, when the True Guide succeeds to the rank of light (martabah-i nur), then the mumins receive two great benefits from this: khabar (information) and jadhwah (firebrand). By khabar is meant knowledge and guidance, and by jadhwah, ism-i azam, and by warming from the fire, to benefit from ism-i azam or the supreme name.
